Hi guys I'm 5 days post op and can't keep nothing down. I'm sipping as slow as I can but not helping it's coming out of one way or the other. Any suggestions?!?!?!

Have you contacted your medical team?

What are you trying to eat?

Does it happen after the 1st bite or after several?

How much time are you taking between bites?

Some folks end up lactose intolerant for a bit, so avoid anything milk based and see if it resolves.

I'm still on the liquid face. I told them even before I was discharged n they just asked me to log what I drank n to kp trying (wasn't my actual surgeon an assistant) I'm drinking water, Gatorade 2. Neither is working.

I'd call the doctor. My doctor gave me her cell phone number in case of an emergency. If yours did that, I'd make a call. That was one of the things on the list my doc gave me that needs immediate attention!

Also, try adding a SF flavoring packet to your water. I had a hard time with plain water the first two weeks, but I'm almost 4 weeks out now and have no problem with it.

milk of magnesia helps

^^isnt that a laxative?

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. Hope you can get it resolved real soon! And, yes, that is a laxative! I don't think it fits this picture...

Thanx for everything guys I did call n my surgeon had me come in thru er for fluids blood work and ct scan so far.

I had my surgery Friday oct 4th and had the exact same experience and it also ended with a trip to the ER and 4 bags of fluids for dehydration. My ER doc gave me a script for a sublingual zofran that dissolves under my tongue which helped me BIG TIME! Next day was still nauseated but could finally hold down liquids. Try sugar free popsicles too they really helped me but you will probably be really weak for a few days I know I was. Good luck to you!
